Ah, my teacher always called it thyroid stimulating hormone releasing hormone. Do you reckon I'd still get the marks?

You should be ok as you have the theory of the hypothalamus releasing a hormone to stimulate the pituitary to release another hormone. I don't think thyrotropin-releasing hormone is specifically named on the syllabus anyway.

Auxin is an example of a plant growth regulator right?

Yeah.

Thought it was a lovely paper overall. My friends were all of a similar opinion so I hope it won't be marked too hard.
Gave up my biology books today
These were the questions I got stuck on. If anyone had the answers it would be much appreciated
What is the function of the cerebeum and cerebullum
How do you expose the semi lunar valve
Another type of white blood cell
In the picture of the bone what was x?
Two advantages of the rhizo pus in zygospore formation?
How does this differ from yeast ?
Thanks in advance :rolleyes:

whatsec

do you guys think controlling the pituitary gland would be a function of the hypothalamus?

reznov

It reflects. Yellow is a requirement to make green. It's absorption was negligible to declare it as absorbed. Very slight absorption.

That should be fine!

Anyway I'm glad they put up questions like this. At least it isn't plain old regurgitation.

Cerebrum - memory
Cerebellum - Balance
Cut up along the aorta/pulmonary artery
Monocyte
Spongy Bone
didnt do the other questions sorry

Absolutely lovely paper! There wasn't a question on the entire paper that I didn't answer. Got every single long Q answered in time!
I hope I've done enough to secure my A1. Im feeling confident :cool:

finality

What is the function of the cerebeum and cerebullum

cerebrum- thinking, speech, controlling voluntary actions
cerebellum- controls balance

How do you expose the semi lunar valve
cut open the aorta or pulmonary artery


Don't know the others offhand, meh

Leucocyte is just another word for white blood cell - monocytes and lymphocytes are leucocytes

it's like the way red blood cells are also called erythrocytes

Hayezer

Phagocyte okay for other WBC?
And whats function of Suppressor T cells? Couldn't really remember but I put down 'shuts down immune system after infection has been dealt with' ? Somewhat right? Literally too lazy to look it up in book :L :pac:

The function of the supressor is to turn off the immune response...

You might get it seeing as how mono and granulo cytes are both phagocytic!

Gah said turns off immune system, so stupid when I think about it :L oh well

BL1993

I said Macrophages. I reckon they'll accept it.

Its turn to turn off the immune system, I'd say you would get the marks.

It's none of my business, really, but I think you people are dwelling too much, discussing answers, etc. Nothing will change, you're just destroying your confidence as you're finding out that the stuff you put down was wrong. Focus on the next exams. Unless you're done, that it.

Sunny!!

they will except monocyte right? and for that plant in captivity question in ecology im along the right lines talking about dispersal?

I'd imagine that the green drowns out the yellow colour.. after all, ye need yellow to make green :P

Ya, we also need blue and did you see how important blue was?

You only need a little bit of blue and a lot of yellow to make green

Bubbleope

oh me god lads. :L i'm so dizzy now after staying up the whole night for that bio!! :L good job i have NOTHING on tomorrow! f*ck yeah german. muhahaha sleep in!! ah can't wait.

In light, primary colours are red, blue and green. Green and red make yellow.

BridgetRB

Am i the only one who found the short questions alot harder ! Everything else went great!

I found them hard too! Experiments were grand though!

Zomg Okay

Lol that's how long it's supposed to take, says it on the front of the exam paper.

I must have had a different paper, mine told me to do 5 shorts and 2 experiments in an hour. Did yours really say to do 6 and 3 in under an hour?

Juxtaposition

In the last part of the nervous system question, when asked to write about the cause no method of treatment of EITHER Parkinson's or paralysis, I answer it correctly re: Parkinson's, but failed to mention that I was talking about Parkinson's, will I still get the marks?

Thanks in advance :rolleyes:

-Cerebrum: All higher thought (reasoning, ability to speak...)
-Cerebellum: Basic instinctive functions (balance)
-Cut a window in the Aorta with a scalpel near the atrium
-Monocyte
-It could be spongy bone or red bone marrow I'm pretty sure (My textbook was written by the guy who designed the syllabus and his diagram is labeled as such)
-Don't know anything about rhizopus (always skip that question) but I think its to do with it being sexual (eg. leads to genetic variety and thus evolution and all that good stuff)
-Yeast is different because it reproduces asexually by 'budding' (definition of a yeast).
